[Merik]

These uninformed, reductionist writings are tedious and have the undertones of conspiratorial thinking that places the author as “the only person who sees the truth“.

There are so many inaccuracies, gross simplifications, mischaracterisations, and strawman arguments, that it’s not really worthwhile to use it as a basis for discussion.

From my observation it's the prevailing general opinion outside of a tech bubble like this site, so I doubt the author feels that the ideas are novel.
